The Pavon of the Peonies (Mudan ting) or Returning Soul Story (Huanhun ji) is the top work of Chinese drama, translated here for the first time into Spanish. Written by Tang Xianzu (1550-1616) in 1598, he recounts the passionate love story between the beautiful Du Liniang and the young Liu Mengmei. In the middle of a warlike atmosphere, because of the threat of barbarians to the Song dynasty, the girl will struggle to achieve the object of her dreams by facing all those who try to prevent her love, even to death. Dreams, self-portrait and death become Tang's hands in a set of mirrors, possible worlds in which to unleash the girl's passions at a time when such passions were regarded as a threat to the established order . The work interweaves moments of a deep lyricism with hilarious situations, offering a deep reflection on the love and the borders between reality and illusion.
